German slave name... most likely his ancestors were some slaves to some Romans. Somebody was freed therefore becoming a freedman. It is a common German surname name

It's a common American surname as well, for the same reasons. Seeing as CC is from one of the Carolinas, it's far more likely that the Freeman she knows got his surname from his great-great-great-granddaddy who took on the surname Freeman after the war.
